Doggy fashion designer by day, Dr. Doolittle by night!

Vivian Feng has a secret: she can talk to animals. With help from her husband and two fashionable Frenchies, she fosters even the trickiest shelter dogs—while running an online canine couture business and keeping her magical gift hidden from her tech-savvy grandniece.

Deadline: looming. Foster dog: brooding. And the potion that could save the family biz? Still brewing...

Dogwear designer Vivian Feng is preparing for the biggest event of the summer—a flashy Fourth of July parade that could take her family-run fashion business to the next level. She even takes on another foster dog, certain she can manage it all with one arm tied behind her back—until she doesn't have a choice.

When a mishap with her newest houseguest leaves her with a broken arm, everything unravels. Determined not to let an injury—or a painfully slow-simmering healing potion—derail her deadline, Vivian scrambles to stitch together a solution.

Meanwhile, her grandniece has a secret riding on the parade's success...and the foster dog, August—a guarded but loyal German shepherd—is living with invisible scars he's not ready to reveal.

With everything on the line—from the future of the Fashion Frenchies to a foster dog's second chance—it'll take teamwork, trust, and a little Frenchie flair to pull off a miracle...and remind everyone that love is the real magic.

Heartfelt, funny, and full of canine charm, this cozy contemporary fantasy is perfect for fans of:

• Bewitched-style domestic magic with a modern twist

• A Dog's Purpose and other emotional dog stories

• Feel-good reads that make you smile, sigh, and believe in second chances

• Uplifting tales about family, healing, and second chances—with plenty of warm fuzzies

The Pooch Salute! is Book 2 in the Fashion Frenchies series but works great as a standalone.
